Baskin-Robbins is working overtime to keep customers cool during the dog days of summer.

The ice cream chain introduced a cheeky new deal called Melt Insurance to make up for the soaring high temperatures that might result in melted ice cream. On Aug. 14, customers can get one free scoop of ice cream by using the promo code MELT in the Baskin-Robbins app.

The Melt Insurance coupon is meant replace any scoops that melted too soon — but in the spirit of fun, proof of melt isn’t required, per a press release.

Waffle cones, toppings, and sundaes are excluded from discount, and the deal is limited to one per customer. It also doesn't apply to delivery or in-store orders.

Carvel has a summer deal, too. To celebrate their 90th birthday on Aug. 19 (and National Soft Serve Day) the chain is selling soft serve ice cream for 90 cents. Customers can snag a small cup or cone of any soft serve flavor.

While Baskin-Robbins and Carvel are still celebrating summer, another ice cream chain is already looking ahead to the fall months.
